Do This if You Are Having a S***** Day

Regardless of how positive and motivated you are as a person, bad days exist for all of us.

The key is to be ready for it and use all of your heavy artillery to fight back the negative feelings, remorse and guilty that a twisted day can leave in your brain.

Bad days are like chocolates. They come in different shapes and colours. You could have woken up in a bad mood after sleeping badly. Maybe you missed the alarm and were late to work. You had an argument with a coworker and, If that was not enough, the transport has collapsed and you will need to take the car/bus.

After all, the day just doesn’t seem to get better. If this is the case, get yourself a warm Flat White, visit your favourite food place, walk around. After you get home, you will probably feel a bit less negative.

Remember to treat yourself and don’t go straight home after work because the day won’t get better! First, get into the drugstore and smell some perfume samples. The smell is an underrated sense. The truth is that a few nice summer aromas can really improve your mood.

Listen to your body

Maybe you need to get a healthy salad and watch some TV in order to reward your body from the negative day. Call your friends, go to the movies or visit a nice pub.

You are the only one who knows what is going to make you feel better. But it’s easier said than done.

Read some motivational quotes!

It sounds childish and cheap, but a few quotes written by some smart people can make you feel a bit better.
But what if that isn’t enough? What if you can’t get out of the painful bubble that involves you?

In that case, watch a documentary film about a subject that you feel passionate about. As a personal advice, I would try to choose a documentary rather on the intense side. The purpose is not to feel better watching something sad or dramatic but to see your own life and feelings from a different perspective.

These pieces of advice have the motivation to help you on a bad day and, therefore, have a short-term effect.
